Just so you know sketchup sucks mayor ass in calculating simple volumes (just some rectangualr shapes stacked on each other, yes i removed all the inner boundaries to make it one volume, yes i checked for holes etc).

Had to calculate it myself in the end. ffs

Hello. I installed Sketchup and am currently running the free 30 days Pro trial and everything was working phenomenally for the first 20 days but now all of a sudden it became SUPER slow and constantly crashes. Every time I try to save or just do any action, SketchUp just starts thinking and loading for soooooooo long and eventually crashes. Does anyone know what went wrong with it? I haven’t installed ANYTHING on it. And it didn’t even happen overnight. It happened in the middle of my model making and hasn’t fixed ever since.

SketchUp only uses 1MB of my GTX 760

For the past couple of weeks everything has been going fine, but just today, it started crashing. I ran the SketchUp tool and it said my gtx 760 only has 1mb of vram, which is obviously not true. I can play Fortnite on ultra, and have ran some stress tests for my system. I have 4096mb vram on it, so something must be wrong.

What I’m thinking is, this is a problem with SketchUp not being able to read/ utilize my gpu. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

I have a very complex model of a boat that I would like to make a 3D printed model of but without the intricate details inside the boat. I tried wrapping it with CADman’s meshwrapper but I was loosing too much detail on the outside.

Is there a way to make a solid shell just using the outer surfaces?

Dynamic Component Attributes link to another components attributes causing an error

@timconnell1980 wrote:

I have two dynamic window components that work as I intended while they are the only component in the model (eg casement window). When I introduce my next dynamic component into the model (eg sliding window) by pasting it in it looks fine until I go to change the size of the window which I had designed to be able to do by entering the desired dimensions in the options dialog boxes. This is when things go wrong and when I look at the errors in the dialog box some of the length fields of the ‘sliding window’ are referencing the ‘casement window’ instead. Which ever component I paste into the model first always works fine. It is the second one that always tries to reference the first and causes errors.

This is my first attempt at dynamic components and I did create the second and subsequent window components by copying and renaming parts of the first (Im not sure if this was the best approach). I also realise I may have to just use the scale feature to size the overall dimensions of the windows rather than by dialog box.

I will attach the files. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there to the SketchUp Community.

I am now starting to learn about Dynamic Components. I am using SketchUp Make 2014. This version does not allow for Attributes. I would like to use the click function to open Drawers and Doors. It seems you can only use SketchUp Pro for the attributes. Is there perhaps a download I can use for my version of SketchUp Make 2014 or does somebody know another way of doing this. It is the clicking option that I am after. Thanks guys.

I have created a model with many black colored surfaces, so in order to make the edges visible I have changed their colour to a light grey colour. This works fine while I’m working on the model or if I export the model to a png file but when I actually print the edges revert to black. How do I make it actually print the way it looks?

I’m using the OBJ-Exporter of Sketchup Make 2017 for the following object: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/2b788b56-3aa7-4e36-bad8-af3cc2935601/Twin-Islands

The MTL-File is fine (texture paths correct and no spaces in any names or paths) but when viewing the OBJ-File there are multiple faces appearing white when they should have texture data on them.

This is a link to the OBJ data I exported: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-HmCtbTkEmxjH_RpdBCt_DgebosRNvh4

Why do dimensions boxes sometimes appear black (or colour)?

@vickyvoodoo wrote:

Sometimes when I reopen a saved model I’m working on, the dimensions boxes are filled black (or whatever colour is set) so you can’t read the dimensions. I’ve looked at entity info and nothing obvious there. Sometimes this problem goes away again by itself, sometimes not.
Anyone else seen this and what did you do about it?
Thanks

Can't use ' or " modifiers to indicate feet and inches

@greyleaf.landscapes wrote:

Hey everyone! I am pretty new to SketchUp, although I tinkered with it many years ago when it was still a free Google product. I come from a construction background, and am based in the US, so working in a “feet, inches, fractional inches” format is just how my brain functions. In the web based version, as well as the trial version of pro, when I start drawing a rectangle the dimension box shows the format in “feet, inches” like I want. As soon as I start typing numbers to change the dimensions it will only allow me to enter them as “inches”. So if I want a rectangle that is 10’,10’ I have to enter that as 120,120. Am I doing something wrong? This problem persists with the push/pull tool, and everything else I’ve tried. I would love to be able to enter my dimensions as 21’6",8’6" etc. as this would save me a lot of time versus converting everything into straight inches. I am designing a tiny house on wheels, as well as a school bus conversion, for context.

Hi,
I started a 3D model with SKPPRO 2018. After 1 month of trying period I decided not to buy SKPRO and use SKP Make. But the Make version is only 2017. It means that I can’t open the model I made with SKPRO 2018. So here’s my question : Does anyone have skp pro 2018 to help me ? Could anybody downgrade my file to skp 2017 ?
Thanks a lot for your help

Change Pro behavior once trial period ends

@sjdorst wrote:

Given the numerous threads I’ve seen with people who try Pro 2018, then decide to go with Make and try to use the 2018 version files they created during the trial, a small change in what happens when the Pro trial ends might be in order.

Instead having zero function, allow only the following

  1. File --> Open (through menu or double click on file)
  2. File --> Save As

Thus creating the ability to use the files that were created without involving either SketchUp Free or the 3D Warehouse.

Also, preserve this in all future Pro versions.

Hello, I am trying to map my objects(doors, handles) to a flat object(like a square). So I can change the color of the flat obj which in-turn will change the color of the object.

Uploaded an image for ref.

Does anyone have any idea of how to do this?

Use case:
I am having a kitchen group which has objects like a cabinet, counter-top, inner shelves, wall shelves. Now I am trying to have a menu for all these objects so when I apply a color to that flat object the object color should change.

Acapulco Chair - Follow a variable path with variable length

Hello, I am trying to model the Acapulco Chair. Specifically, I would like to figure out how to model the cord without having to model every single one of them

As you can see, the the outer perimeter is egg shaped. And the Cords originate off center. My I am of the assumption that follow me along a path wouldn’t function because the cords aren’t all the same length.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank You!!

Hi Again to all.

I have started to learn about animating kitchen cupboards. Drawers are opening nicely and so are the cupboard doors except one. This door slides to the one side while opening and as it gets closer to the open point it starts to slide back to the hinge point. Once completely open it will be back on the hinge point. This has happened to me a couple of times and I have no clue how to fix it. All other doors work perfectly then every now and then one does this. The plugin which I am using is SUalive Animation. Advise would be appreciated. Thanks Eager
